Dr. Pisker's Health Tip
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends; mow the lawn - anything that moves your spine is not only a fitness tool - it's a brain builder!
